The Epicurean Red Hill

A heritage wedding venue on the Mornington Peninsula

Some venues NEED styling. The Epicurean Red Hill is definitely not one of them, with original red brick walls, exposed timber beams, a glass-atrium ceiling, and open fireplaces, the vibe exists before you’ve added a single flower. It’s an iconic, heritage property est. 1921 in the heart of Red Hill that photographs well and feels even better in person.

Home of The Epicurean Group, the venue hosts food focused celebrations from 20 to 220+ guests, with the Ever After Effect – a team of planners, caterers and creatives managing the details from your first conversation through to the day itself, the Mornington Peninsula’s most complete wedding experience.

With an indoor ceremony option, The Barrel Room guests will then move through to The Shed — the main reception space, industrial-chic with those brick walls, timber beams, and fireplaces that come into their own in the cooler months.

For outdoor ceremonies, the Merricks Trail is offered at the rear of the venue, or their partner properties such as the Red Hill Lavender Farm or Ashcombe Gardens both about eight minutes from the venue.

“We are truly so grateful to Cass, Alex and Leah at Ever After Effect, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. From the very first meeting, they made us feel heard, supported, and so excited! Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and they seamlessly guided us through the planning process with patience, creativity, and so much positivity.

On the day, we could just relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in their capable hands. Their dedication, kindness, and expertise made our experience joyful and unforgettable. We honestly can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect and so full of love. We will be forever grateful we stumbled across their website in those early planning stages and couldn’t recommend their beautiful team enough!”
